>> it's a good question and debate it's a big question in this election year. somehow the folks that are successful in america are causing hardship for the middle class, which is a distraction from what is really happening. there's several things i can mention. first of all a government-run education in america has clearly failed to give people the character and skills to compete in the global economy. we need to do something with their education system where public education no no longer synonymous with government-run education. there are a lot of good solutions but we are spending upwards of 14, $15,000 a year on public school students and we are still losing ground to the rest of the world. when we can't compete we can have a middle-class if our folks don't have the skills to succeed. we are also creating a large dependent class who are trapped in dependency and they are no longer socially mobile because they are no longer motivated or have a the necessity to move on and they are effectively trapped. some of the things that medicare that you lose when you st
